There’s not really any such thing as neutrality. Arguably universities can maybe step away from things (although this is complicated with departments that are inherently political), but “neutral” if you’re writing about politics always reflects some kind of value judgement. By definition one person’s neutrality is someone else’s bias.

This is unfortunately something newspapers like to pretend is not true but it absolutely is. Your definition of neutral appears to be “shut up” and is creepily authoritarian.
